Researchers identified a rare genetic mutation in two schizophrenia patients that increased schizophrenia-related behaviors in mice.

Only about 50 Apennine brown bears remain in the wild, and new research sheds light on a key challenge to their survival. The ...

A genetic mutation found in two human patients with schizophrenia also increased schizophrenia-related behaviors in mice with ...

These cancers have mutations in one of two genes, FOCAD or TCC37. "These cancers are a huge unmet medical need, because we don't have effective drugs for them," said Francisca Vazquez, co-senior ...

These cancers have mutations in one of two genes, FOCAD or TCC37. The finding, described today in Nature, is a new synthetic lethality — a pair of genetic changes that together kill cancer cells. The ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers report the successful in vitro reconstitution of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks ...

A new strain of bird flu has been detected on a duck farm in California. The World Organisation for Animal Health reported the outbreak of the new strain, H5N9, earlier this week.

Researchers at the University of Illinois have found a direct link between a genetic mutation and schizophrenia. The ...

offering a new way to treat retinal degenerative diseases caused by single-point mutations. Another innovative strategy is the use of suppressor tRNAs to bypass stop-codon mutations, which can ...
